Tell whether the two figures are congruent or similar.

• Congruent, because their sides are the same.

• Congruent, because their sides are proportional.

• Similar, because their sides are the same.

• Similar, because their sides are proportional.

Are these two figures similar? Explain your reasoning!

• Yes, similar because they are the same shape and side lengths are proportional.

• No, not similar because they are the same shape, but side lengths are not proportional.

• Yes, same shape

• No, different sizes

Answer explanation

The figures are not similar because, although they have the same shape, their side lengths are not proportional. Similar figures must have corresponding sides that maintain a consistent ratio.
